Labels are certainly necessary in society. Starting at
birth a child begins to identify those around him, in part,
by the use of labels. "Mama" is a first word and often
"dada" comes next.
To the baby, there is only one mama and that defines to
the childish mind all she is. She is his source of food,
comfort, security and she is his alone. There is no
rationality to the baby's demands. This mama person
must fulfill his needs instantly and completely, even
though the messages the baby transmits are not yet in
language, and not very.clear. To the baby, mama is one ,
thing ..
Other people who know the baby's mother know she is.
much more than mama. Her husband knows her as the
woman he loves, from whom he gets support, and gives
measure in return. He knows sheis religious (or not), an
athlete (or not), a reader (or not), a good cook (or not),
and so on. She is many things - much more than just
"mama."
Her other chifdren, her close friends, shopkeepers,
neighbors, may all know her and recognize in her, many
facets of personality and being.
So the baby, thinking with its undeveloped mind, is
wrong. Mama is much more than his view of her. We
understand the reasons for the baby's view, but
stereotyping continues as we mature. It even has a
valuable use in helping us distinguish between a variety of
people and things.
But labeling can also be very negative when we use it to
exclude from our consciousness the multiplicity of parts /
that make up a human. What does it mean, when we say:
"He's a jock."
"She's a musician."
"He's a Natural Resources Major."
"She's a Methodist."
Does it mean he's only a jock - nothing more - not a
son- not a lover- not a Republican- not a scholar? And
the musician, is she not a sister - a coin collector - a
carpenter (a female carpenter- come on!) - a hiker?
·. And the Natural Resources Major, may he not be a poeta brother - a thinker - a cyclist? And the Methodist, is
she not a golfer -a spender -a gardener -a reader- a
spelunker? ·
We use labels in times of stress to simplify descriptions.
We know what Nazis are. No problem with that image. We
know what Commies are too. We know what hippies and
Birchers are. Facist? No problem.
Look carefully at the tone and texture of the media
descriptions of those holding our hostages in Iran. We're
positive they're bad guys and we would have long ago
treated them as such - except they still keep our
"brothers and sisters" hostage, so we use restraint.
To the point. The Gay People's Union has encouraged all
gays and others who favor gays to wear jeans on March 13.
I assume they're trying to draw attention to their
organization and to demonstrate the prejudice which
exists against their group. It seems to me that's their
right.
I believe it is misguided though, because it may serve to
substantiate the simplistic image of gays that many nongays have, i.e. two people of the same sex making love to
one another. That's unfortunate because gays, like the rest
of us, are much more than simply sexual beings- they are
all the other things, scholars, dunces, Republicans,
Democrats, C,atholics, Baptists, fighters, lovers, etc. 'that
we all are.
We need to celebrate our joint humanity, not concentrate
on our differences.
I take no great offense at the hype in the jeans part of the
promotion. It will anger some, amuse others, be ignored
by others, and maybe create empathy in some, but-1
suspect in very few. Feelings on this issue are so bound in
tradition, religion and fear, that this type of action is
unlikely to have a salubrious effect. Long-term education I
may do it. I hope so.

Mozingo warns that student pocketbooks will be hurt-
.
Shopko opposes state price hike law
By Jeanne Pehoski
If a bill to strengthen
Wisconsin's Unfair Sales Act
is passed, it would hurt
students and other people
living on a fixed income the
most, said John Mozingo, a
UWSP business professor.
Wisconsin presently has a
law requiring wholesalers to
charge a minimum three
percent markup over cost,
and retailers are required to
charge at least a six percent
markup. However, the law in
its present form is not strictly
enforced. The new bill would
give the state Agriculture
Department the power to
issue special orders
prohibiting violations of the
act. Violators would be
subject to civil action and
could be penalized up to
$5,000.
Two Wisconsin retail firms
are on opposing sides of the
price markup issue. ShopKo
is lobbying against the bill,
calling it "an ·unwarranted
government intrusion in to
legitimate
business
practices .'' The Copps
Corporation, which owns the
three local IGA food stores,
.
.
John Mozingo
says the law is needed to
maintain competition.
ShopKo quotes Lewis
Engman, former chairperson.
of the Federal Trade
Commission.
"State
regulations have bred
high prices and inefficiency . . . whatever the
original justification for
these laws, it seems clear
that they can be used to
maintain prices at artificially
high levels."
The Copps Corporation
argues that the absence of
fair trade legislation can
allow big firms to wipe out
smaller ones, destroying
~ competitive pricing. A Copps
spokesman said that
"Wisconsin has more small,
successful,
independent
retailers than other stat~,
and the Unfair Sales Act has
been effective in shaping a
retail system bene{icial to
Wisconsin consumers and
businessmen." Copps argues
that unless the bill is passed,
large chain operators can put
smaller firms at a serious
disadvantage. After the
small stores are eliminated,
the large firms are in a
position to · raise prices.
However, if larger firms do
wipe out the smaller
businessman and raise
prices, they would be guilty
of price fixing, Mozingo said.

low-income people such as students
- it will simply raise all the
prices," Mozingo said. "If
this bill passes, the cost of
policing and enforcing it will
addtothetaxpayers'burden.
In effect, the consumer will
pay higher prices and more
taxes."
Mozingo said that small
businesses will survive, with
or without this bill. Even
though the small businesses
have higher prices on a
limited number of products,
they will continue to get
business, because consumers
are willing to pay more for
added customer service and
the products offered at the
small store.
"I'm opposed to this bill,"
Mozingo said, "because the
consumer will suffer if it is
passed." He added_that he is
unaware of any other state
that has a minimum markup
law.
Mozingo encourages
students to support the
lobbying efforts of ShopKo.

Governor Lee Dreyfus has
proclaimed this week,
"Women's History Week," a
statewf<fe tribute to women
that will also be celebrated
locally at UWSP.
"Women in .the past have
been neglected, and it is
important to recognize the
place they have played in
history," stated Dr. Frank
Crow, UWSP his tory
professor.
"Her Story," is the title
theme for the celebration
here at UWSP, which will
include special events on
campus with Alice Randlett
of the LRC in charge o{
exhibits.
·
According to Joan
McAuliffe, Women's Studies
coordinator for UWSP an
exhibit of particular int~rest
is a display of books in the
LRC pertaining to women
and women's history. The
display was arranged by
Donna Carpenter of the LRC.
Women's c~tumes of the
past are on display also in the
LRC. They were donated by
Shirley Randall. Ann
Fairhurst's Home Economics
Design class is in charge of
arranging this exhibit.
In addition, there will be a
feminist book sale in the UC
Concourse by the newly
formed Women's Student
Association.
According to Dr. Crow. a

course in the history of the
American woman has been
offered at UWSP since um,
and is very popular in terms
of attendance.

UAB approves restructure
of organization
By Bill Krier
The University Activities
Board <UAB) met last
Monday night to approve
c'Onstitutional changes
necessary for a major
overhaul of its organizational
structure. The reorganization
was passed by a .unanimous
vote.
Joe Bartoszek, chairperson
of the rules committee that
formulated the change,
explained the shake-up,
saying, "The major change is
that individualism will be
changed toa team effort."
Under UAB's previous
structure, 14 individual
chairpersons
were
responsible for various areas
of programming ranging
from movies to concerts to
lectures and others. The UAB
boar·d consisted of these
·chairpersons, and the
executive board- president,
vice-president, treasurer and
secretary.
The new structure will
reduce the number of board
members from 17 to nine by
retaining the, executive board
and
dropping
the
chairpersons. In their place
will be four vice-presidents in
charge of four different areas
of programming. Each vice.

president will coordinate the
efforts of a team that works
with him on activities within
his area of programming.
Each team, in addition to
,the vice-president, will
include as many as 15
students, depending on how
many students want to get
involved with UAB. The four
areas ar~ visual arts,
contemporary entertainment, special programs and
leisure activities.

Special programs include

comedians and others.
'
Leisure activities includes
mini-courses, trips, seminars
and recreation.
In addition to promoting
teamwork, UAB hopes to
increase student awareness
of its programs by getting
more students involved.
Bartoszek said a problem
in the past has been that
students haven't shown
enough interest in UAB
functions or activities. He
pointed out that UAB allots
quite a bit of money during
the year, and it is the board's
desire that more people
become accountable for the
money spenl. ,..
Also, by receiving ·more
student input, UAB hopes to

Grad school--
The perils of ~ighef . education ·
By John Slein
The late Sixties and the
decade of .the Seventies saw
young people flocking to
colleges ·throughout the
country. Enrollment boomed,
and going to college became
the trend.
In recent years, that trend
has leveled off somewhat,
·and the demographics of the
Eighties promise to curtail it
even more sharply.
But, as studies have shown,
the attitude toward education
as a passport to affluence has
remained, ·and perhaps has
, even intensified. Coupled
with fierce competition in
select job markets, .bornagain traditional values that
involve. landing a job, and
leading "the good life," have
extended the college-inclined
trend to include graduate
school.
According to statistics
compiled by the American
Council on Education, of all
the degrees awarded in the
United· States between 1970
and 1980, a steadily
increasing percentage were
Master's degrees. While the
enrollment in graduate
programs more than
doubled, the number of
Master's degrees, as a
percentage of the total
degree's awarded, increased
from 20 percent to 23 percent.
That translates into an
increase of about 137,4()9
degrees awarded at the
Master's level.
Analysts generally agree
that a combination of money,
prestige, and the desire to
occupy positions
of
importance
is
the
fundamental force that sends
thousands of students . each
year in hot pursuit of postgraduate degrees. The
advanced degree provides
that needed edge over the
competition, and frequently
serves to admit its holder, in
a foot-in-the-door type
fashion, into positions
inaccessible to those with
lesser degrees. One
placement counselor put it
this way, speaking of
advanced business degrees
recently in. Newswe'ek: "It's
an entry ticket. After you get
in, you're on your own, to be
advanced on the basis of your
performance. ••
Graduate' school for many

"Private Lives" --
Riding the marriage-go-round
By Vicky Bredeck
The third program
sponsored by the Resident
Hall Council opened Sunday
night with dining, dancing to
the music of the UWSP Jazz
Ensemble, and an impressive
performance by the
University Theater.
The ensemble performed
poignant renditions of
"Stardust" .and "Deep
Purple," along with the jazzy
"One O'Clock Jump." The
music did much to establish
the mood of 'the Thirties and
Forties, the era of big bands,
when men sported white
carnations and women wore
·high beets and shocking-pink
layered dresses. Pizzazz was
in. Dull was out.
Dull would be the last word
to desciibe the comedy play
entitled Private Lives. It was
written in 1930 by English
dramatist Noel Coward, and
incorporates the pizzazz and
jet-set society of that era.
Set in France, it is a story
of two couples who love, hate,
marry and divorce, all in that
_order. Actually, it's difficult
to tell who's married to who
and why. With so much
bickering and quibbling
going on between the couples,
it about gave one a headache
to stop and figure it out.
Tl_le husband of one .couple
(on their honeymoon) -
'
discovers his ex-wife staying
at the same hotel, also on her
honeymoon, having been
divorced from her "ex" for
five years. The discovery
triggers a series of emotional
highs and lows, from biting
sarcasm to melodramatic
endearments,
Lizbeth Ann Trepel plays
the part of carefree Amanda
Prynne, who describes
herself as having . a heart
"jagged with sophistication."
Victor, whom Amanda
affectionately characterizes
as a "lovely spaniel," is
played by. Anthony Smalley.
Sibyl and Elyot Chase are
played by Kimberly Kunz
and
Glenn
Traer,
respectively.
Trepel (Amanda) and
Traer <Elyot) do an excellent
job with the various
gymnastics the script calls
for. These include a few
tumbling and wrestling
episodes, and a five-minute
dance production involving
everytliing from the tango to
the fox trot.
Noel Coward stereotypes
his characters to make their
personalities easier to grasp,
such as the whimpering Sibyl
and acid-tongued, worldtraveled Elyot.
Coward's humor is subtle,
often relying on the actor's
movements and gestures. He
appeals to a sophisticated
audience.
Complete
concentration;s necessary to
catch the subtleties and
casually thrown jibes.
•
Privl\te Lives delves deep
into love-hate relationships,
often probing and turning
over loose stones. But not too
deep.
More so, Private Lives is a
spoof on marriage, and the
surprise ending compels one
to ask the question, "Is it
possible?" ·

estimates.
Financial aid in the form of
government grants and ,
university fellowships is
a va ila ble, but, sa·ys
Placement Director Dennis
Tierney . in his booklet
"Career Guidelines," is often
h~rd to come by. The
availability of government
funds is ever-changing, and
fellowship aid is often held
back until the university is
certain that the student is
worth / the investment.
Barring a rich father, the
answer for many students is
to go into debt. .
But gaining entrance into a
choice school is often
unaffected by financial
considerations. With income
potential enhanced by'
thousands, students find
graduate school a wise
investment. As one UWSP
senior remarked on the
prospect of being accepted as
a grad student at Harvard,
"It's my ticket to the . big
time."
A:t some point, the allure of
a post-graduate degree may
lead the student to wonder
what graduate school is
actually like. · The general
picture most students have of
graduate school, according to
one placement guide, is that
it is similar to college, "only
harder."
True enough, graduate
school is more difficult, the
reason being its nature.
Whereas
undergraduate
work . emphasizes classroom
procedure, post-graduate
work is more researchoriented. Typical Master's
progra~s,
tor instance,·
consist of only about 30
credits, but they also require
a thesis project. Placement
counselor Mike Pagel
compared . the difference
between undergraduate and
post-graduate work to that of
high school and college.
"There's a lot more
pressure," he said. "You
spend a lot more time on your
own."
Fisheries Professor Daniel
Coble sees part of the
distinction as a matter of
independence, particularly at
the doctorate level. "The
ideas are more original," he
said. "You're totally
independent - everything is
up to you." Coble, who holds
a Master's degree from
Oregon State University and
a Ph.D. from the University
of Toronto, added that postgraduate work at the
Master's level deals with
problems and ideas already
defined, with the procedure
often given.
"The
number
one
difference," said Professor
Steve Odden of the English
department, "is that (in
graduate school) there is less
of a direct relationship
between the classes you ta~e
and getting a degree." Odden
said that the graduate degree
depended more on the thesis
project, as opposed to
undergraduate study, which
involves only going to classes
and eventually getting a
degree.

in the classes. "The classes

Vonnell, who is working on a

The competition is tough,

To The Pointer:
As springtime or at least
warmer weather approaches,
I, too am becoming alarmed
over the unnecessary
destruction of an' important
part of our campus. The
green part, the grass, shrubs
and trees which are being
trampled. A common
response seems to be, "Oh
but just once if I cut over the
grass it 'won't hurt." Well
your just once often turns into
a habit.
Do you ever. watch where
you're walking? Apparently
a number of people prefer to
trample a poor defenseless
ground pine . (ornamental
evergreen) in front of the
University Center rather
than to walk the same
distance around the
perimeter of the garden. I
know it seems shorter to walk
across the grass (or flower
beds) in order to reach your
destination, but if we look at
it logically, we can see thi~ i&
not the case. Most, if not all of
us, have had a course in
geometry so we all know that.
the sum of the sides squared
equals the diagonal line
squared.
"Oh it doesn't matter now,
the ground is frozen," seems
to be another popular
response. It does matter now,
whether the ground is frozen
or not - you are damaging
the area. The snow becomes '
very packed under our feet,
eventually turning to ice.
Come spring, these paths due
to the ice, are some of the last
areas to melt, thus stunting
the grass and plants below.
Once the ground starts to
thaw the soil becomes
compacted, water is unable
to reach the roots of trees and
plants and they choke to
death.
Do we want' our campus to
turn into a sea of endless
sidewalk? I doubt it. l urge
everyone to stop and think for
just a second about ,where
they.are walking. Let's spare
the remaining grass from
concrete and the trees from
death. With everyone's help
we can have green grass for
years to come.

New study on Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forests-
Range potential of Wisconsin forests evaluated ·
•
By Steve Schunk
Professor James Bowles of
the College of Natural
Resources soils department,
and graduate student
Barbara Leach were
involved last summer in a
· Federal Range Potential
Overview Project in the
Chequamegan and Nicolet
'national forests in Wisconsin.
Bowles and Leach were
awarded the summer job of
conducting the overview
after submitting a bid to the
uS Forest Service <USFS).
The overview was done to
find if there is enough
grazable forage to consider
- future grazing in Wisconsin
forests. Though there are no
current plans for a grazing
project to begin the Forest
Service feels it necessary to
determine the potential of
these public areas.
The range overview
consisted of making <.
random sample of understory
variations of the cover type.
The sample plots were
random in hopes of getting
representative data of the
many types of land cover that
exist in the two na,tional
forests.
Bowles and Leach found
that Chequamegan and
Nicolet
were
more
productive than expected in
many of the cover types.
They also discovered a lot of
variation in the . areas.
Grasses were determined to
be the best for grazing
purposes, but this varies and
can include other plant types.
Shrubs, for example, which
were not a part of the survey,
would also provide forage for
domestic animals.
Leach graduated from

B.S. in range management,

the gathering of range

Thus far, there has been an
emphasis in forestry by CNR
students. Land and range
management are becoming
increasingly important to the
country. Jobs out west have
sparked interest in this field.
Last summer, approximately
30 UWSP students had jobs
that provided them with
information and training in
land management.
With programs such as
those conducted by Bowles
and Leach, the CNR is able to

these types of projects.

money could be obtained

and actual work wouldn't

Given the budget tightening
in Madison, the chances of
getting money in th~ next
budget aren't very good, and
it may well be that no funds
from the state will be
available until 1983 at the
earliest, when aMther

1t was a disappointing
performance for UWSP,
although the Pointers did
play much better in the'
second half. According to
Bennett, effort was not the
problem, but the Pointers
were never able to gain
control of the game and were
intimidated in the first half.
"Parkside is a fine team
and it played well, but we
played very poorly tonight,"
said Bennett. "I was
di~appointed for the team
because we are a better team
than that and I felt that we
could play tough against

Parkside.
''We just didn't play our
brand of ball in the first half
and it was just too late for a
comeback,''
continued
Bennett. "It's just a shame
that we didn't play better
tonight, it wasn't a reflection
of how we played this
season."
When asked why he didn't
apply the full-court press that
gave his team · its only
success of the night, Bennett
replied, "The press wasn't
that effective because
Parkside wasn't sure
whether to hold the ball or to
try and score. The several
times they tried to score they
were successful."
Zuiker put on an incredible·
second-half performance,
scoring 23 points, giving him
27 for the game. The
sharpshooter was 12 of 17
from the floor and also led
UWSP in rebounds with
seven. Duane Wesenberg
matched Zuiker's rebound
total and chipped in eight
points. Rodriguez had 10
points and Radtke eight.
The Pointers shot 54
percent in the second· half,
bringing their game figure to
a low 43 percent. The
Pointers were out-rebounded
by Parkside 37-24. The
Rangers finished the game
shooting at a torrid 58
percent.
UWSP closed its season
with an 18-10 record overall
and Monday's game marked
the first playoff appearal}ce
in nine years for a UWSP
men's basketball team. The
Pointers claimed sole
possession of second place in
the competitive WSUC.'
The victory gave Parkside
the right to host UW-Eau
Claire for the District 14
championship. Parkside will
be going for its 23rd
consecutive home victory.
And the Pointers are left
waiting for next year. But,
the often used "wait till next
year" motto will certainly be
a valid one for Bem1ett and
the Pointers.
I
Seniors John Miron and Tim Bakken played their last
games as Pointers Monday night. Miron, a Kimberly
High graduate, displayed excellent outside shooting
during his career and fell just one point shy of joining
the-700-point club. Bakken is a member of the career
500-point club and was noted for his defensive
abilities. Bakken was awarded the Hale Quandt
Memorial award in 1979. Bakken attended Eau Claire

The UWSP .women's
basketball team suffered a
pairofdisappointinglossesin
the State Regional Qualifying
Tournament played in La
Crosse last weekend.
The Pointers carried an
impressive 17-4 record into
the tourney but were upset in
the opening game 68-52 by
uw:Whitewater. UWSP and
Whitewater met once prior to
the tournament game and the
Pointers came away with a
78-76 win in double overtime.
Whitewater, the champion
of the WWIAC small school
division, gathered a 23-9 lead
in the first half and went into
the locker room at halftime,
leading the Pointers 39-19.
UWSP battled back in the
second half, closing the point
spread to seven, but was
unable to keep the rally
going. Field ·goal shooting
proved to be the difference as
Whitewater converted 28 of 58
field goals (48 percent) while
UWSP made only 24 of 69 (34
percent).
Whitewater also held a
substantial edge in the freethrow shooting department,
sinking 67 percent. The
Pointers managed to make
justfour of 11, for 36 percent.
Senior Becky Seevers led
UWSP with· 12 points while
Sue Linder and Anne
Bumgarner each· had 10
points before fouling out of
the · game. Senior Julie
Hammer
led
Point
.rebounders with 11.
Whitewater was led by Sue
McKeown's 19 points and
Tracy Moates had 18. Karla
Brendler had 11 rexounds.
The Pointers ran into more
problems in the consolation
game of the tournament,
losing to UW-Milwaukee 5452.
UW-La Crosse will

Tournament. La Crosse

The post-season tournament was a disappointment
to the Pointers who had
played good basketball this
season against a solid
schedule. Coach Bonnie
Gehling felt her team had
problems handling the
pressure of the tournament. ·
"It narrows down to the fact
that we couldn't put it
together for the big game."

UWSP 's Jeff·Ellis racewalks .into rff:ord books
ByJoeVandenPias
Walking. Defined by
Webster as moving by steps
or traveling on foot. It is an
apt description of this
normal, '
everyday
occurrence. However, when
one speaks of racewalking, a
much different explanation is
needed.
- UWSP's Jeff Ellis is one of
the better racewalkers in the
country. Ellis, a junior from
New Berlin, recently set a
NAIA record in the two-mile
walk at the NAIA National
Indoor Track and Field Meet
in Kansas City, Missouri. The
three-time All-American
covered the distance in
13:53.20, eclipsing the old
mark 03:53.62) set in 1978 by
Carl Schueler of Frostburg
State <Maryland).
Ellis has been racewalking
competitively since 1975. "I
saw someone doing it one day
and a frien,d asked me to try
it, so I diq," recalled Ellis.
"At first I was a two-mile
runner. I was also a cross_country runner. My main
sport in high school was
wrestling, but after wrestling
was over I went to the AAU
Junior Olympics and the
schools started recruited me
for running."
However, Ellis was,
determined to be involved in
racewalking, a sport that is
about ' 400 . years old.
Racewalking reached its
peak in popularity in
America during the 1930's,
but interest in it started to
diminish after WWI. By 1960,
American racewalkers were
nearly extinct.
Yet, racewalking has again
. become part of . American
athletics. I Associations of
racewalkers are growing in
ranks and many people,
disenchanted with running,
are turning to competitive
racewalking because they
are intrigued by the demand
for style and skill.
"Racewalking is more ·
difficult than running
because you have to
concentrate on form,"
explained Ellis. "Physically,
it's better for you because
your legs don't take the
pounding that they do during
running."
During a racewalking
event, the competitors must
discipline themselves to
concentrate on the required
form. This form consists of
taking steps that have
unbroken contact with the
ground. The advancing foot
must make contact with the
ground before the rear foot
leaves, and the advancing leg
must be temporarily
straightened after contact.
It is this emphasis on style
that
distinguishes
racewalking as a sport of
strength, speed and skill.
"After you practice this for a
long time it just comes
naturally. When you start
out, the thing that you
concentrate on is form, and
when you have good form, it's
hard to break into a run,"
stated Ellis.
If there are any violations
of the legal form during the
event, a judge will issue a
warning. If two warnings are
issued to the athlete, he is
disqualified from the race.
Ellis explained that the
secret to a voiding penalties is
in practice. "I've been
warned only twice in five
years. We work very hard on
form here. I would say that
our walkers have the bes.
form in the nation."
The Pointer racewalkers
include Ellis, Dave Bachman
and Ron Rost. Together, they
form the most formidable
team in the WSUC. "I'm the
best . in the conference,
Bachman is the third best
and Rost is only in his first
year and it takes a couple of
years to be really good at
Ellis stated . that the
racewalker trains to develop
the muscles of his body more
evenly. The walker develops
his legs by the practicing of
form and style, not by using
campers, motorcycles;
campmg
and
scuba
equipment,
bicycles,
swimming pools, campground and realtor information, and much more.
Demonstrations will be
given ln archery and
rappelling and different
contests and give-aways will .
be conducted.

Outdoor__ show slated
The largest outdoor show of

Friday, March. 21, through
Sunday, Mar. 23.

The show, which . is being

physical education and
athletic departments, will
include something for every
person who has outdoor
interests.
Displays will include boats,

weights. A<;cording to Ellis,
the upper body strength of a
racewalker should be
developed by weights
because tne athlete must turn
his hips with lifs sthde and
drive his forearms for power
and balance. "Walking takes
a lot_out of you because your
arms set your pace. You
really have to swing them
hard and if you have good
upper body strength, that's
halfthe battle."
Ellis . claims · that a
racewalker reaches his peak
in his. late twenties. With this
in mind, there may be bigger
and better things to come for
him. In fact, Ellis has been
chosen .to
compete
internationally. "I qualified
for the Pan Am games last •
year but I did not go because ·
I felt that I did not have the
experience. I am going to try
·out for an international team
that will represent the United
States and I'll go to the
Olympic trials in June, if they
have them," stated Ellis.
Despite all of his success,
Ellis realizes that walkingis
no different than other
athletic events in one respect.
"In setting a record, you're
the best for one day, but the
next day it could all be
different. The trouble with
some athletes is that they go
on big ego trips and that is
what I'm trying notto do."

A medical self-help course

Taking care of NtJmber One
By John Teggatz
Nothing wears down a
college student's thickening
veneer ·of sophistication and
maturity faster than getting
sick. Although we demand to
be treated as adults when
healthy, being sick brings
back the kid in all of us. The
trouble is, here at the big cold
university you are all alone.
Even the friendly Health
Center looks suspicious when
you are sick - (what's it
doing in . a basement,
anyway?) and your
crummy friends are no help
either. It's a . Fact O'Life:
here at the university, there
are no Mommies or
Grandmas to take care of
you.
There is something the
student can do ~ take care of
himself. To help with that,
· the Health Center is offering
an eight-week course called
"Taking Care of Number
One." It is an introduction to
performing a simple home
physical exam using
appropriate techniques and
common instruments. The
purpose of this exam is to
separate normal (selftreatable) ailments from
grossly abnormal (requiring
a doctor) health conditions.
The course is designed to
teach students to be wiser
consumers of health care, not
just now but in the future
when medical services will
have to be paid for . With
medical costs being sky-high,
knowing when and when not
to go to the doctor can be very
valuable.
The course also stresses
prevention - what better
way to avoid pain and
expense than never to get ·
sick in the first place? If
some kind of attention is
needed, the course teaches
students how to care for
themselves and how to
handle common medical
emergencies.
Taking Care of Number One"
is coming into existence not
because the Health Center
doesn't want to see and treat
students, but because most of
the people who want to be
treated could very effectively
take care of themselves. The
Center is swamped with
people who have colds and flu
- things even . it can't
"cure," but things everyone
can alleviate the symptoms
of.
The course begins next
week and will run for eight
weeks. It will meet Tuesday common cold, strep throat,

You're suffering from the winter "blahs."
You're irritable. You can't concentrate. You
don't have any energy. You're feeling down and
out. You just found out that spring is being
postponed until the Fourth of July. What can you
do? How can you cope with these feelings that
are common during this time of the year?
The first step in overcoming the winter
"blahs" is to do some self-reflecting. Try to
identify your feelings. Are you sad? Lonely?
Stressed? Bored? Find out what events or
situations are making you feel that way. Are
your classes taxing your nerves? Is your job the
. same dull routine? Have you had time to spend
with friends? Can you be alone when you want to
be? The positive side of being depressed is that it
forces you to get in touch with yourself.
·
Expressing your feelings is another step in
coping. By confiding in a friend, you direct your
feelings outward so that you can begin to deal
with them. It takes courage to communicate
your gut-level feelings but it takes even more
energy to hold them inside .•By directing your
energy outward, you are on your way to the third
step in overcoming the winter ''blahs,'' building
your self-esteem.
All the aspects of your life (social, physical,
emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and
vocational) affect the way you see · yourself.
Working to strengthen or balance these areas
can provide the kind of ch~ngethat will help you
see your daily routine in a different way. It will
also help you get through the winter. Some
suggestions of nice things to do for yourself are: ·
start a journal, call an old friend, read a book
that you've put aside becaqse of schoohrork,
play your favorite album, go for a walk, make a
list of your favorite things, and smile!
